The Nite Hawks - Chicken Grabber

Do you want to hear something so filthy, so irredeemably grubby, that simply to hear it makes you want to wash out the inside of your head? We're not judging you, not this time. Look no further than Chicken Grabber (1959), a song so low rent unpleasant that it was included in the soundtrack to Pink Flamingos. It's leery, crass and thoroughly Trumpian. The man behind this is Nesbert "Stix" Hooper, a regular on the Houston jazz and blues scene for decades. The guy played with Bonnie Raitt, Ry Cooder and BB King, you've got to hope this isn't what he gets remembered for.
